Description ferret 2005-06-02 15:22:20 UTC

ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `/usr/lib/real/cook.so'
  broken /usr/lib/real/cook.so (requires libstdc++.so.5)
ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `/usr/lib/real/drvc.so'
  broken /usr/lib/real/drvc.so (requires libstdc++.so.5)

This system (quite correctly) doesn't have a libstdc++.so.5, because it has
libstdc++.so.6 from gcc-3.4.4.

And no, I'd rather not have to install sys-libs/libstdc++-v3.  That's like a
step in the totally wrong direction. ;)

Nothing relevant or helpful found on mplayerhq.hu (no surprises there).  Not
sure how this can be fixed either.

a) distribute with a binary libstdc++.so.5?
b) wait for upstream fix?
c) ...?
d) depend on sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 (except you can't, because portage isn't
clever enough to know if sys-devel/gcc provides libstdc++.so.5 or not).
e) get rid of the real stuff from win32codecs altogether? (:

Note: a generic solution to (d) for all packages would be nice.  Perhaps
libstdc++ should just be made a separate slotted ebuild for all gcc versions? :)

DEPEND="|| ( libstdc++-v3 <gcc-3.4 )" maybe?

What will this do if you have both <gcc-3.4 and >=gcc-3.4 installed?
